A dazed day in Elba.
Portoferraio, Elba Portoferraio greeted us with bright sunshine and a beautiful view of the local port. Behind this stands the Porta a Mare gate, which dates back to 1637 and is shadowed by rugged mountains. The ship docked right in the town and it was immediately accessible for exploration on foot.
